Beet Brownies

Now your mind will pop this question – How were these goodies?. The best part of these brownies were that they were moist, creamy, crumbled on the inside and had no signs of the secret ingredient “BEETROOT” until told to anyone who tasted it. The brownies did not smell the rawness of beets but its taste can be felt. Trust us, from elders to little ones – no one will stop with one slice. So what are you waiting for, just get your counter top ready and start mixing in your BEETS…

Quinoa and Beet Pilaf

Scrub and roast the beets. Once they are cooled, remove the skins and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the caraway, beet greens, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir over medium heat for 30 seconds to a minute until the greens are nicely infused with the garlic and oil. Add the beets and quinoa.

Beet Hummus

If you like beets, and you like hummus, you’ll love this beet hummus. The ingredients are beets, tahini, garlic, lemon, cumin, and salt and pepper. Use as a pretty topping for cucumber rounds, scoop some up with pita triangles or celery ribs, or just dive in, like oink-oink here, with a spoon, and eat it up before anyone knows what they’re missing.

Roasted Beet and Winter Squash Salad With Walnuts

The colors of the vegetables were the inspiration behind this beautiful salad. You may be fooled into thinking the orange vegetables next to the dark beets are sliced golden beets, but they are slices of roasted kabocha squash.

Raw Beetroosh

Start by wash, peel and grate the raw beetroots. Add all ingredients in a food processor or blender and process or blend until smooth. Taste and add some more mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper if needed. Eat immediately or store in an airtight container for 3-4 days.

Ginger-Soy Glazed Salmon with Asian Beet Slaw

This meal is shockingly delicious. If you’re not a salmon fan, this ginger-soy glazed version may actually convert you. The filets get quickly marinated in a combination of fresh ginger, soy sauce, citrus and brown sugar, and then pan seared for a few minutes on each side until the fish is just cooked through. In this slaw, there are tossed julienned beets, green cabbage, carrots, oranges, scallions and toasted sesame seeds with a bright dressing that’s bursting with Asian flavors. This slaw provides the perfect base for Ginger-Soy Glazed Salmon, but it would also be awesome with almost any type of meat or fish.
